Area Rug Cleaning

At Chem-Dry of Marin, we understand that your delicate fabrics are an expensive investment that, unlike regular carpets and upholstery, can last up to 150 years or more with proper care and attention.

That’s why we ensure that your area & oriental rugs are carefully treated only by our certified, trained area rug specialists in our unique plant using a process combining Old World craftsmanship, new technology, and powerful yet gentle cleaning solutions. It’s powerfully soft on your investment textiles!

Before we begin the cleaning process for any area rug cleaning, we photograph and inspect each rug thoroughly. After the dry process, we do a post inspection and wrap each rug individually for delivery.

Authentic Hand-Washing For Fine Textiles

Your oriental and area rugs are not just art treasures. They are also very valuable investments. That’s why we clean them with so much care and attention to detail.

Utilizing the basic elements of air and water, we customize the cleaning process for the needs of each individual rug.

With patented tools and equipment designed specifically for the cleaning of oriental rugs, we provide a thorough and effective, yet gentle, cleaning process that is powerfully soft. Depending on the particular fibers, dyes, soils, and construction of the rug, we’ll draw from the cleaning techniques described below.

Dust
Dry particulate soil evacuation is performed using the power of compressed air. This “air washing” process completely removes this soil as no other process can.

Wash
Your delicate textiles are immersed in a simulated river of soft water and washed deeply with a massage of powerful yet safe cleaning solutions.

Rinse
This ensures the continuous purging and flushing of soils and other contaminants.

Drying
Our controlled drying environment allows for speed and efficiency to protect the rugs in process. Fringes are then detailed and specialty spot and stain removal is performed after our initial inspection. All rugs must pass a stringent final inspection before they can be returned to you.
